(00:52):
Here's yours right now. Monday Night Football, the Nightcap. Seahawks
are the seventeen to six lead early in the third quarter.
Texans with the football, though they have just crossed midfield
on a penalty. So again again, the Seahawks have been
absolutely dominating the Texans fine in a way to just
stay close enough.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
In it hanging around. Don't throw any more wide receiver
passes that might help.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Now we'll get back to this game in a second,
but I want to, you know, talk about something we
just saw on TV and just watching Max Schurzer celebrate
big ALCS coverage on Fox and Shures is doing interviews,
and you know, the two different color eyes and Shures
are sitting here.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
He's so excited.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
You strung together a lot of curse ones as soon
as he appeared on that monitor.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It's so hard for me to sit there and watch
Max Scherzer celebrate when he was so excited. Hey, the
Mets told me they're not going for it next year,
so they had to trade me. And I'm like, oh, okay,
guess what we wound up in the NLCS last year, Max,
But now here shres are.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Who was done. But are you calling him a liar?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
No, no, well yeah, because clearly I think the Mets
told him Mets they'd be okay getting a trade.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Hey, we're not.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Going for it, You're all the trade me? Oh okay,
go they tried to him. Uh, clearly he made the
right choice. Well, well that's what that's in the World Series.
That's what sucks is that here Shures are, who is done,
and here he is with a big effort in the ALCS.
He's crawling into the World Series here for one last
shot of the title, and I'm watching us going.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We gave him a lot of money, and after one year,
it's just hard because sometimes I forget right, like I
had no dog in the fight tonight with the Mariners
and the and the Blue.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I mean, I feel bad for my friends in Seattle,
uh you.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Know who are there and and and I'm they're hitting
me up on Twitter right now a little bit, and
it's kind of tough, and I feel awful for them
because now the way they blew that that lead to
the Blue James.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I'll think of our guys, Softy.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But yeah, but I'm going now, Okave lad Junior is
doing other Yankees lose, And then I gotta watch Max
Shars going, oh great, there's fifty seven year old Max
Shures going.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, ready to go. Yeah the Mets let me go.
Two and a half years ago. Here I am back
in the World Series. It's tough. It's tough.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's back in the New York groove. It's hard, man,
it is hard shot. I do want to say this
because in looking ahead at the World Series, it starts
Friday night. The Dodgers lefties are gonna feast in this series.
I mean, just just for a second, you look at
what the Blue Jays have. They're starting pitching. The Dodgers
(03:18):
lefties are going to feast. Otani, Freeman, Muncie, these are
guys that are gonna hit the cover off the ball.
And that's the one thing we talked about the Dodgers
going into the World Series. Yeah, are they gonna get
a bounce starting pitching wise, yes, absolutely hundred percent. They're
not gonna pitch like they did in the NLCS. It
would be impossible to. But if they're gonna start hitting,
(03:39):
that's gonna even that out. And we saw the end
Otani hitting again the night he had last Friday Night,
greatest night in playoff history in Major League Baseball, one
hundred and fifty years of baseball.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
That's what we saw.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But if the Dodge I got as funny a sneaking suspicion,
you're gonna see the Dodgers start raking from the beginning
of this series. And it's gonna be all the lefties
that are gonna be able to put up all kinds
of like I said, Otani, Freeman and Muncie, those guys, Yeah,
they are gonna really really rake.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I mean, we've got plenty of time to delve into
the full splits and everything else.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
But certainly when we look.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
At the ability of the Dodgers' offense to get after it.
The Blue Jays gave up two hundred nine home runs
in the regular season. That was sixth in Major League Baseball. Rockies, Angels,
the usual suspects is the top the list, but of
all the competitive teams, they were surrendering at a pretty
(04:31):
high rate. So obviously, navigating the Al East, you'll have
some some tortuous nights, but opportunity knocks because we certainly
saw that the Dodgers had to face the gauntlet of
left handers earlier in prior series. So maybe this evens
things out. But certainly all eyes on on Friday Night,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You said eyes on Friday Night shirts with the two Yeah,
my first rodeo. He's like the terminator, you know, waiting
for it to like all of a sudden, He's gonna,
like all of a sudden in your head just explodes. Wow,
sures have just did that.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
I sends you pluck the eyeball out like the terminator everything. Yeah,
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Uh see, we'll lot more baseball coming up in Phelis,
because yeah, the Blue Jays going to the World Series.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Is really about one other team that didn't make it
to the World Series. Fuck but yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Friends of mine, though, are having flashbacks to ninety three though.
As soon as they started showing the Joe Carter home run.
I had a buddy that I went to college with.
He was from Philadelphia. He went running out towards Lake Michigan.
Took us hours to find him. We literally we thought, wow,
he was a guy that lived and died with every
at bat, every pitch of the Phillies. Oh went screaming
(05:42):
into the night. Oh that I found him sitting on
the side of the road, unharmed. He was fine, but
there was that moment. So, you know, fandom at it
at its peak and to this day, Joe Carter, you
mentioned him in any group chat, yeah, it goes bad.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah yeah. And you know, the funny thing is just
real quick about Joe Carter. You think about Joe Carter
and in the lifetime of biggest playoff moments, home runs,
everything else. You know, you get on the list, and
Joe Carter's should be at the top. He had a
walk off home run that won the World Series. I mean,
(06:18):
it doesn't get bigger than that. But yet the Buckner
play is bigger. Gibson's home run is bigger, right, Bobby
Till we talked about the biggest plays in baseball, it's
like it's a play you get to go, oh yeah,
Joe Carter, you know, yeah, I mean really, it's it's
crazy that that that that's that's the impact that Carter
hit that. And the Blue Jays were a great team
winning in ninety two and ninety three, terrific team. David
(06:39):
Cohne like that was a Roberto Alomar. That was an
all star lineup they had. And to think that, yeah, okay,
the Joe Carter home run should be at the top. Hey,
biggest home run, Oh, Joe Carter walk off won the
World Series.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Nope, But I still go back to I mean, look,
growing up in Chicago, and as much as I hated
the Cubs, I watched them every day because I can
come home from school, can't commander a television and and
and watch things go to go to fruition eighty four
when he gets traded to Cleveland, right, it's him, it's
Mel Hall. They the Cubs get back Rick Sutcliffe and
he goes on that ridiculous run that second half of
(07:11):
the season. What was he sixteen and one en route
to the cy Young and for the Cubs to be
playing postseason baseball was such a rarity at the time.
But that trade was the thing that jump started, and
we watched Joe Carter's career. Is like, man, that guy
could have been could have been a life from the Hubs.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, one of those things.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
And he goes on to this great moment. Now, obviously
again what Sutcliffe did that year in eighty four. I
hated that trade because that's when the Mets were starting
to get good. I'm like, he's gotta lose a game
at some point.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Come on, the guys, seventeen to one, Come on, man,
what's going on.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I just always loved emulating that motion, right, that extra
half second that you held the ball in your wind
up before coming forward.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Just big stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Oh boy, all right, so we gotta tell you this
before we get to We got a big NFL take
for you here. Yeah, this game has gotten closer because
Sam Darnold just got sacked in the end zone. Looked
like he had a chance to throw the football away,
held onto it, fumbled, recovered for a touchdown by the Texans.
(08:15):
It is now a seventeen to twelve lead, extra point
petting him. Maybe they wind up going for two. But Donald,
you know, in his own end zone, could have stepped
up and stayed out of the sack, but instead went
deeper into the end zone where he gets grabbed up
and just can't hold on it. It's like I still
want to get rid of the football. And that's what
(08:37):
killed this play for Donald is that. Okay, he made
a bad play and made it worse. Right now, he
should have stepped up to stay out of the end zone,
right you know, that's the thing that not enough quarterbacks do,
is stepping up out of the end zone to stay
out of a play like that. But he made a
bad play worse by trying to get the ball into
his left hand where I can maybe throw it away
and not get a safety. Dude at that point, don't
(08:58):
make a bad decision worse, Hold onto the ball, Hold
onto the ball, but he fumbles. They recover for a touchdown,
they go for two and don't get it, So it's
a seventeen to twelve lead right now for the Seahawks.
Runs right into Will Anderson, who despite being held, gets
the arm on him to jar the ball loose and
eventually he's the one that falls on top of it
(09:20):
for the touchdown. The two point conversion fails seventeen to twelve,
middle of the third. Now, to think about this for
a second on display tonight, it's really weird to think
this because he's a guy that's kind of flown under
the radar a little bit, but he became an incredibly
good receiver last year. If you said to me right now,
(09:41):
who's the best receiver in the NFL, I would say, well,
it's hard to ignore what Puka Nakua can do right
hard to ignore that because just the sheer volume that
he has for the rams. But I don't know that
Jackson Smith and Jigba is not the best receiver in
the NF He has found a way on a team
(10:02):
that doesn't really have anybody else throw the football too.
He's double covered in almost every single pass pattern, and
he finds a way to get create space between the
corner back on him and the safety over the top
and be open for five yards where Darnold can find him,
like the Jackson Smith the Jigba the play, it's like
the Gronk play where Gronkowski would just come off the
(10:22):
line of scrimmage, run across the field, nobody's got him.
He would catch the ball from Brady and then rumble
for the fifteen yards like how does that happen?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But that's that's Smith and Jigba is that he'll come
off the line and he'll find a way to run up,
look some kind of out towards the sideline and catch
the ball three feet from the sideline with a defensive
back in front of him and a safety in the
back of him.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
The way he's able to create space to catch the
ball is incredibly impressive. He's not a guy that's gonna
win a lot of one on one battle. He doesn't
have the size for that. He's not the fastest guy
but to be. But he's almost like reminds me a
little bit of Justin Jefferson, where Wow, he always seems
to be open. No matter what you throw at him,
he's open. And there's the physical beast the Brandon Marshalls
(11:07):
that we're able to I'm gonna shield you from the football,
go up and get it, and so I'm always open.
But the fact that that's like every play for Smith
and Jigba and I go. I don't know how he
does it, but he does it every single play. Coming
into the game. He led the NFL in yards receiving. Oh,
by the way, put another eighty on the board so
far fro him. Tonight he six for eighty in a touchdown.
(11:27):
So he's gonna improve this lead. I mean, he is
having an for all as great as Jamar Chase is
having and pukin Akua is having. He's leading the league
in yards per reception. Right, these guys all have ten
more catches than he does. But the yard by every
pass he catch, I feel like is a twenty five
yard catch. He's doing that so consistently without the presence
(11:49):
of another guy to take pressure on. Last year, it's like, okay, well, yeah,
Metcalf there, and Metcalf was still really good. Clearly they
let Metcalf go because we don't need him. We can
still put this offense forward making him are one, and
he is just having that kind of year. Man like
it's so impressive to see him to just to find
a way almost you know what, almost a little bit
like if I think about it, almost like Marvin Harrison,
(12:12):
because that's Marvin Harrison. How does he find a way
on every play to be to have a safety over
the top and a cornerback on him and he's still
opened by three yards?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That's kind of what Marvin Harrison was able to do
for the Colts, and that's kind of what Smith the
Jigma does for the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah, what's interesting is the way he's used. You point
out Metcalf. You also had Tyler Lockett there last year
who caught forty nine balls for six hundred yards as well.
By the way, he's free. Does he go back to
Seattle now? Did they bring it back? Yeah, he's a
free man. As for his release from Tennessee, looks like
he's gonna be out in the open market.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Maybe a guy you can help.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
So just talking about Smith and Jigma just made another
big catch here as you and I are speaking, over
the top, beautifully placed ball by Darnold. And that's the thing.
They were able to use him as a slot receiver
last year. This year he's lining up outside more of
the facts that you can mix and match and move
him around and create some defensive mismatches along the way
(13:10):
to make things a little easier for Sam Darnold in
that regard. Uh certainly huge as well. But yeah, I
mean the metal stand is him. It's aman ra uh
and then and then we start fighting with with Puka
and Nikua and and and a few others in terms
of their use when he's the true number one. It's
awful hard to discount DeVante Adams though, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, Adam that Yeah, Adams is Adams finally caught. He
caught a couple of touchdowns yesterday. Yeah, but watch Smith
the jig. But he is absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It is really hard to discount him. Again, He's not
physically big, he's not fast, but he just he finds
a way, man, he just finds a way to be open.
I mean, very Marvin Harrison esque, Like that's kind of
where I look at and go, Yeah, that's watching Marvin going,
how is Marvin Harrison that wide open?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
He does? Of course they're gonna throw to him. How
does how can you not cover him?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I really thought that white, How is Marvis Marvin Harrison,
I thought you were gonna say, learning from his.
Speaker 4 (14:01):

Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon Hobo live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Twenty to twelve.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Seahawks of the lead over the Texas right now, they
have the football. Three minutes ago in the third quarter
we talked about Jackson Smith and Jigba a few minutes ago.
Now over one hundred yards on the night, Sam Donald
just trying to throw to him and he was again
opened by five yards and Sam Donald just deciding, I'm
gonna throw it out of bound.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
He should have run harder. Yeah, yeah, sideline throw. He
didn't get there. Man, so alive more in the game
coming up again.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You know, really, maybe America is rooting for the the
Seahawks in this game, considering the Mariners gacked away a
two games to none lead. CS No, I think you
feel bad look, because now Seattle is like, boy, if
they gave the ball to marsh And on the goal
line and they didn't blow a two nothing lead going
home in the ALCS. Boy, that's something we're gonna think
about every day.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Was it an anti Canada thing? I mean some are
suggesting that ever since the Sonics left that it did
its cast a shadow. Okay, so you can't win, you
can only get so far. It's like the deal with
the Devil.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Okay, Yeah, there it is. I'm gonna have my big
show at Carnegie Hall. No you're not.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And then Ralph Macho is gonna come and play the
guitar and try to defeat the Devil and win the Yeah,
Seattle back and that's it against Stevie v. I Stevie
Va ain't losing. So we'll have more in this game
coming up in a few minutes. Again, big third down
for the Seahawks in twenty to twelve. They have been
dominated in this game. And then Sam Darnold sacked, fumbled
in the end zone. Seahawks fell out. The sorry Texans
(18:05):
fell in the football for a touchdown. They went for two,
did not get it. And so now the Seahawks they
get the first down. Guess who Jackson Smith and Chigbuck
catches the ball and the flat goes another ten yards
past the first down marker, first and ten for the
Seahawks looking for another score.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah, they were one of ten.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
On third down. They said, Hey, what don't we do here? Oh,
let's get the ball to that guy.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, let's throw it to him.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Uh So I got a sneaking suspicion thinking about the
world too. We'll get to We'll get to the Yankees
in a second. Last year, we had ice Cube and
Fat Joe. Yeah, okay, okay, all right, Well ice Cube
was great boy. Fat Joe the Yankee that might have
been a deal with the Dell didn't work out, like
they had. Fat Joe and Fat Joe just didn't work out.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
You just had a lot of guys you could have
chosen for that spot, a lot of guys.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
It did not work.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Are you talking about it worked out for the Dodgers, No,
but for the Yankees it didn't work.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
It worked out great for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I want to know the workshop there though, Like as
you're sitting around right eating sandwiches and maybe some cold cuts,
uh and just kind of talking about Hey, who should
we get?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
That's that's who you came to. Yeah, yeah, I mean
there's so many other people. There's so many other people
that are associated with New York. Now, you could have
you could have gone actor, you could a gone singer.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
You got all the Broadway for crying out out.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Well, that's the Yankees man, their decision making since the
you know, the Steinbrenners took over for George Steinbrenner.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Ah, maybe we don't get the best we should.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I mean, you could have had Lynn Manuel Miranda come
out and sing a bit of anything the Yankee.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
The Yankees don't go out and get the best player
in free agency in Juan Soto. They get guys who
were almost as good. They don't go out get the
best singers that can come out. They get guys stup
almost as good. There's a Broadway star and a legend
hit he work for the Yankees. Could have had Jason
Alexander out.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
There, Costanza.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But this year, okay, we'll probably get Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I really want Drake out there. Oh, I well, to
get Drake and Kendrick Lamar yet, think you got to
have that? I think that's yeah, I think, yeah, yeah,
you gotta have that, man, I think that.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I think that's what the world wants to see. I
want to I want to see that. I mean Rush
is getting back together. Get geddy Lee out there.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Yo, Okay, sure, why not?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
All right?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
No, that's fine. But I mean you want rivals. You
want rivals, so you want Drake and Kendler cremin. I mean,
I don't I think Rush is.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I mean they fighting with Alan Parsons project, Like, I
don't know, is there some sort of are they fighting
with Brian Adams? I don't.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I don't know that we're actually gonna get fisticuffs in
the start.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Everybody put your hands together for the prog rock battle
right now.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
It's Rush and Alan Parson's project. It's the Eye in
the Sky Modern Day one. Come on, you can get
on board that.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
No, I don't know, man, that's that's kind of a
tough one. I think. I think that's a tough one. Yeah,
I just don't. I just don't know how much you know.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Pitting they musical Luminaries to start up a game really
really plays?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
No, I think that would play though. That's a few,
but that's a they're actually gonna fight like that. They
fighting through their songs. You know that rivalry you want?
That's a built in people know that rivalry. Even my
dad knows Drake and Kendrick Lamore. My dad knows nothing
about music that's been made after nineteen eighty eight. He
thinks Aerosmith's Permanent Vacation was the most recent album anybody's
(21:25):
ever put out. Wait till I tell you about the
song with Young Blood, Dad, this is Arosmith's best song.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
It's there. Wait thirty years Wait, wait do you hear it? Dad?
My dad?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Wall, Wait, there's new music. No, I got no, I
got here, I got that. Dude looks like a lady
right here in nineteen eighty eight. Permanent Vacation. No, that's
what what I go.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Okay, but I mean he's already done that the halftime shows.
Is Kendrick Lamar coming back down for.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
The World Series? I think, yeah, I kind of have
to do. That's a big deal. It's a step lower.
Ah No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
As much as I love America's past, yeah, but but
the thing is LA's a baseball town. So okay, again,
we got a lot of people in La baseball time.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I I think that it's a pretty good choice for
number one. Thanks, pretty good. And again you have the
built in rivalry. You have the rivalry. Man, Dude, you're
not gonna Drake Goes whoever gives him a jersey.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You're not gonna get an alternative rock battle between you know,
Duly and the Afghan with somebody.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
You're not getting that, man, I'm sorry. You're not setting that.
He does tickets and he does own the short.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You're not getting red Hot Chili Peppers against you know,
you're not against the Lawna Miles. You're not getting that. Okay,
you're not getting that. What other Canadian artists there, You're
not gonna You're not gonna get simple plan.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Dick did to you. You're not getting it, Okayack, just
be just be it.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
No no, no nickelback versus Creed, Yeah, come on, not
happening unless Creed is actually Creed from the office.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
That's a nickelback Creed I could get into well, I
mean he could play some some songs from his time
in the sixth Just be happy with Drake and Kendrick
lamar Man. Just be happy with you.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Now, the Blue Jays in the World series. This is
an absolute gut punch for the Yankees, especially coming off
of last week. Right now, the Yankees could not get
past them. They gave the division away to the Blue Jays.
They were up big, then they lost like fifteen games
in the standings before. They made a nice run late,
but they couldn't overcome Toronto. Toronto wins the division again
(23:22):
as close as it could possibly be, but Toronto's your
division winner. Toronto beats the Yankees. Toronto goes to the
World Series. This is a gut punch for the Yankees.
But what makes it worse is that the Yankees and
the Yankee Nation Yankee fans had to sit back last
week and watch Brian Casher and Aaron Boone have an
end of season press conference that basically said, yeah, we're
(23:43):
just gonna run it back with the guys next year
and hope for something different like.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
That has said. That makes me.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
You go into the offseason going why am I even
gonna buy tickets? Why am I gonna watch the games?
If you're telling me that this year they were not
good enough. Sorry but they weren't good enough. But you think, oh,
magically the calendar changing to twenty twenty six is gonna
make it better for it.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
The Blue Jays are younger, they're better, they're more toime.
They beat they defeated you in every way. This year,
they came back, they won the division, they knocked you
out of the playoffs. They're going to the World Series.
You have to watch that, right. That's why when the
Phillies got elimited, I said, oh this is great. I
can wear my Metskier again because the Phillies and the
Yankees got knocked out of the playoffs. When a team
from your division gets knocked out, okay, you think maybe
(24:24):
we're okay, feel like that goes to the World Series.
It's man, we got a lot of work to do.
But it's doubly worse when you're told by your administration that, yeah,
everything is gonna be the same next year. You know,
Aaron Boone is coming back. They would have fired him
if they would. You know, Aaron bone is coming back. Oh,
Garrett Cole coming back. That's gonna make things better. Oh
so you know how it's gonna go next year. Yes,
Garrett Cole coming back is a boost that can't hurt.
(24:46):
But no, but you can't just sit here and say, oh, well,
things are gonna work out great. On't me to change anything, No,
clearly you do. You weren't close. It's a it's a
you know, as Aaron Judge could hit seventy home runs again,
Like you think Aaron Judge is gonna be great, but
you clearly know you need you seem you need more
in the lineup around him. You need you know, you
gotta get out of contracts and get to other guys.
Your bullpen wasn't what you thought it was gonna be.
(25:07):
That's got to get fixed. But the Yankees and yeah, yeah, yeah,
we're fine. The Yankees have been that team that's just
driven to the middle of the road for the last
year is like, yeah, we're not gonna go too far
out of pocket one way or another. The most the
worst they got was last year when they were spurned
by Jan Soto.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
We're gonna go sign three other guys instead, okay.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And now, yeah, you know Bellinger was okay, Devin Williams
was not okay.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Are you better off? No, you're not better off.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Wan Soto at a top five MVP type season in
the National Goal he's not gonna win it, but he's
gonna finish the top five still want to have it
a really good year. This is such a gut punch
for the Yankees because when you have to say, yeah,
they're better and I don't see the path to getting
better than them for next year. That's hard, man, But
that's the Yankees, and I think the rest of Major
League Baseball saying yeah, we like the sleepy Yankees, right.
(25:52):
Forget about the lazy Yankees on the field. We like
the sleepy Yankees who were no longer doing whatever we
can to make sure we win the World Series, where
all this fiscal responsibility and we're afraid to trade any
of our prospects, where the Yankees would trade their prospects
all the time in the past because their prospects were
valued more than everybody else's. Because it was the Yankees
farm system. They stopped doing it. Brian Cash was afraid
(26:14):
the first guy he trades out of New York that
it's three to fifty wins a batting title. They're gonna
be at his home with torches like Frankenstein, going get
him out, get him out. He used to make trades
like that. They don't do it. The Yankees are now
a safer team. We're gonna drive to the middle. We'll
spend money when we can, but overall, yeah, let's stay
the course. Stay the courses. Not getting it done, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I mean only the guys on sports talk radio in
New York get that excitable anymore. They have come to
expect it from Cashman and Boone at this point. What'll
be curious is, I mean, they've got a lot of
free agents, They've got a lot of potential defections this offseason,
so maybe it's a little bit of a ropodope. I mean,
that's what you're gonna say in in the You're bringing
(26:52):
Aaron Boone back.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
You've already decided that.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
And then we can always argue about how much the
manager does versus front office being count analytics guys, et cetera. Right,
we can have that fight with every team. Uh, and
everybody's always gonna push back because they want to make
sure they get their appropriate percentage of the credit. But
what what we'll be curious is you've got guys like
Schwarverer that may may be available that maybe he doesn't
(27:15):
go back to Philly. You've got Kyle Tucker who's in
the in the wind and probably leaving Chicago. So you've
got some big, big bats that may be available that
suddenly show up. What is always curious, though, is when
you're you're heavy, uh, in terms of your your dollars
are spent right, guys like Stanton, how many games are
(27:36):
you banking on him being available for right?
Speaker 4 (27:39):
For Aaron Judge, that's that frame, that body. How many
games does Volpie get better? Because he certainly wore it
like a guy.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Is is Dominga is gonna be a guy that suddenly
becomes right when he was coming up? It's it's the Martian,
He's different. He's gonna be that guy. Is he that guy?
Or is he a middling power guy that never gets
over right? And that's the curse of being a Yankees
prospect as well. Go back to the days of Kevin Moss.
All right, he was going to be that guy. Sure
(28:08):
you had Jeffries, They had Kevin Moss.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Oh sorry, I had to do it.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Jeffries did have a good career career, absolutely, there's no
question about it. But Kevin Moss, who as soon as
he saw how Don Mattigley's back was disintegrating, suddenly, tada,
what happened? He changed his batting stance and was no
longer the power broker that he once was. But all
of those prospects thereafter that were supposed to break through
and didn't. Some of them became decent Major leaguers, but
(28:34):
never became those prime A List number one guys. So
you know you do have our new pitching prospect. I'll
let you say his surnames so I don't screw it
up and get us fined.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Exit up, out of Fresca, exit swollen down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Cam Schlitler. Time not
to find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
A guy who will feast on Friday like the Dodgers
lefties on the Blue Jays pitching.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
It's Steve to say the way you.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Talk about you just mentioned the name I was going
to bring up. The Yankees are not going to the
World Series. Don Mattinglee is yes, right, yeah. He is
bench coach for the Toronto Blue Jays. He was Dodgers
manager before Dave Roberts. Don Mattingley, in his long and
great career as player and assistant coach, has never been
to the World Series and now is going as Toronto
(29:25):
at Home takes Game seven of the Alcs beating Seattle
four to three George Springer three run homer in the seventh.
Seattle is still the only ball club to never go
to a World Series. In fact, these two franchises, Toronto
and Seattle, started as expansion teams playing in nineteen seventy seven,
so we've had about fifty years of World Series since then.
(29:47):
Seattle hasn't played any of them, which is the worst
start to any franchise in the history of the four
major sports. For a team to remain in the same
city and not reached the championship round of your sport
in the first forty eight years of existence has never
happened before.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
What is the Mets for one thousand seams.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
The Mets did make it in by the way, among
the many stats here that here we had a team
in Toronto who lose the first two games at home
and still win a best of seven, like the Mets
did back in the mid eighties. It has happened precious
few times since then, but these Blue Jays had the
most comeback wins this year, and in fact, even when
trailing by two or more in the late innings, they
(30:29):
still had nine victories. Best in the majors this season. Springer,
with the three run long ball in the seventh takes
it the loss to reliever Edward Bizardo, who allowed the
home run to the first batter he faced. Cal Rawley
did have a solo homer. Seattle's Julia Rodriguez hit went
out as well. By the way, for the reigning home
run champ. To homer in a Game seven that year
(30:52):
hadn't happened since Reggie Jackson in the nineteen seventy three
World Series. Wow cal Rawley hit went out tonight, it
looked likely with the three to one lead, that might
be sending them to the Fall Classic.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Not so.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Jeff Hoffman faces three batters strikes at all three in
the final inning of a close Game seven that's not
happened before. Toronto will host Game one of the World
Series against the Dodgers Friday night on Fox TV. Saturday
night is Game two. All the World Series games will
start at about eight pm Eastern Time. Two NFL games
(31:27):
tonight Right now in Seattle, the Seahawks are leading early
fourth quarter twenty seven to twelve against the Houston Texans,
who have targeted receiver Nicocollins nine times, but he only
has four catches for twenty seven yards. It was just
a seventeen to twelve advantage after Will Anderson's fumble recovery
on his sack of Sam Darnold, but they've tacked on
(31:48):
points the home team has, so Seahawks twenty seven to
twelve is the score right now. Earlier, Detroit beat Tampa
Bay twenty four to nine, each team five and two.
Jamiir Gibbs seventeen carries, one hundred thirty six yards and
two scores, plus he had three catches eighty two yards
Jared goff in the win, one touchdown, one interception, one fumble.
Wide receiver Mike Evans of Tampa Bay returned after the
(32:11):
hamstring injury, but left before halftime with a concussion and
broken collarbone after a hard landing on a deep pass.
The Mecha Abuka Young wide receiving star did play after
a hamstring injury. He was targeted twelve times, only four catches.
Washington says quarterback Jayden daniels hamstring injury is not significant,
but they don't know if he'll play next Monday at
(32:33):
Kansas City. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is out this week
with a high ankle Sprain forty nine. Ers QB Brock
Purty is likely out again this week with a toe injury.
Falcons quarterback Michael Pennix is called day to day with
a bone bruise in his foot and ankle. Raiders tight
end Brock Bowers, with the knee injury, is due to
return after thereby this week. In the NHL, Winnipeg a
(32:53):
two to one winner at Calgary, which is one in
six on the early season, Carolina five and zero but
losing with about a minute ago at Vegas tonight for
to one for the Golden Knights, and the NBA season
starts with two games on Tuesday. Today was the deadline
for extensions for the draftees from twenty twenty two, so
getting four year extension. A four year extension was Dyson
(33:15):
Daniels of Atlanta, a five year extension for Christian Brown
of the Nuggets.

Now we're gonna take our shot here by playing the
nineteen ninety three games. Last time the Blue Jays were
in the World Series nineteen ninety three. Justin Frosburg has
the game all set for us playing as myself. Mike Carmen,
Alex Tice Shirt, Steve de Sager, Frostburg. Go ahead, you
said World Series, something you would know nothing about. We
(35:40):
try to get there. We just don't get there. I
know about it. Try harder. Okay, Nah, it's still too hazy.
It's like eight magic eight. Paul, shake it now, ask
again later. This is a great game. Yeah, it's great
game so far, aren't you having Okay? Hey, Steve, you
really thought there was a game. This is where we
(36:00):
rag on the Mets.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
All that the Mets suck, still with.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
The Seinfeld, still with the Seinfeld.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Who gave up the home run that Joe Carter in
Game seven of the nineteen ninety three World Series. I
think Alex Tice Shirt should answer this one first. Who
gave the home run to Joe Carter? Who I'll give
you a hint, I'll give you a hit. His nickname
(36:33):
was wild Thing. Okay, he wore number ninety nine. Okay,
who is it? Oh?
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Mitch Williams, Wow, yea anybody actually whispered that? Wow? I
should make game over. He went to the internet like
his hair was on sire. Wow, you guys aren't coming
back from that.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
No, there's no Internet here wild than By, but stay
that's right, you were here speaking of the internet. It
wasn't event to in nineteen ninety three. Well, that's right,
al Gore did advent it.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Have a hot take for you. I bet it. Tani
speaks perfect English. It just doesn't like to talk to us.
That's not a hot take, I think.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
So I would dispute the word perfect because it was
the same with Fernando.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
It is really to be fair, how many people that
English is their first language speak quote unquote perfect.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
I work with people who speak English and it's not perfect.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
Let's doing the game. Are you guys just I'm ready
for the next game. I'm ready. Next question, I'm likeady.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
This horror movie was the number one horror movie in
nineteen ninety three, with Halloween right around the corner.

Nineteen ninety three. Oh, I got a guess. Okay, I
gotta guess last scream. I'll go last. No, first scream
was ninety six. I want six. Did you really say scream? No?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
No, he said stream and I'm just speaking out ninety six.

say I should guess. I'm gonna say candy Man. No,
I thought I had it.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Steve, any Halloween that was? That was any Halloween? That's
what it was called. Any Halloween seven? Any Halloween? What
year was? It said? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
any Halloween ninety three. Yeah, you're gonna really kick yourself
from this.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
I think so ninety three. Who was the star? Do
you have the star? You a short guy?
Speaker 4 (38:27):

That's what happened? Man, Alert Alert, all right, what's next?
The F word?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Okay, was first said on this television show in nineteen
ninety three. The F word was said on this TV
show in NYPD Blue.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
It's gotten. Oh was it really? No? NYPD Blue? I
mean that was what else are you gonna guess? I
was thinking something on like New Cable, like something on HBO. Wow, Okay, I.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Was just going to give that word in television. Okay,
you you take that, Bobby Simone. Oh no, at that
point it would be you, David Caruso. We had to

where the targets go. Now that Nico Collins is going
into the tent. What do we got he's in the tent.
He just went to the locker room after being in
the tent. So hey What's next?
Speaker 1 (40:03):
This comedy starring Bill Murray was released in nineteen ninety three.

And what's that groundhog Day? Oh that it would be fun,
well done.
Speaker 7 (40:35):
Steve little Sonny Bono in the background singing shirt.

Exit out about a fresh Stoln Dome. I was waiting

(00:52):
Here's yours right now. Monday Night Football, the Nightcap. Seahawks
are the seventeen to six lead early in the third quarter.
Texans with the football, though they have just crossed midfield
on a penalty. So again again, the Seahawks have been
absolutely dominating the Texans fine in a way to just
stay close enough.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
In it hanging around. Don't throw any more wide receiver
passes that might help.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Now we'll get back to this game in a second,
but I want to, you know, talk about something we
just saw on TV and just watching Max Schurzer celebrate
big ALCS coverage on Fox and Shures is doing interviews,
and you know, the two different color eyes and Shures
are sitting here.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
He's so excited.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
You strung together a lot of curse ones as soon
as he appeared on that monitor.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
It's so hard for me to sit there and watch
Max Scherzer celebrate when he was so excited. Hey, the
Mets told me they're not going for it next year,
so they had to trade me. And I'm like, oh, okay,
guess what we wound up in the NLCS last year, Max,
But now here shres are.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Who was done. But are you calling him a liar?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
No, no, well yeah, because clearly I think the Mets
told him Mets they'd be okay getting a trade.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Hey, we're not.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Going for it, You're all the trade me? Oh okay,
go they tried to him. Uh, clearly he made the
right choice. Well, well that's what that's in the World Series.
That's what sucks is that here Shures are, who is done,
and here he is with a big effort in the ALCS.
He's crawling into the World Series here for one last
shot of the title, and I'm watching us going.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Man.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
We gave him a lot of money, and after one year,
it's just hard because sometimes I forget right, like I
had no dog in the fight tonight with the Mariners
and the and the Blue.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I mean, I feel bad for my friends in Seattle,
uh you.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Know who are there and and and I'm they're hitting
me up on Twitter right now a little bit, and
it's kind of tough, and I feel awful for them
because now the way they blew that that lead to
the Blue James.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I'll think of our guys, Softy.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But yeah, but I'm going now, Okave lad Junior is
doing other Yankees lose, And then I gotta watch Max
Shars going, oh great, there's fifty seven year old Max
Shures going.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, ready to go. Yeah the Mets let me go.
Two and a half years ago. Here I am back
in the World Series. It's tough. It's tough.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's back in the New York groove. It's hard, man,
it is hard shot. I do want to say this
because in looking ahead at the World Series, it starts
Friday night. The Dodgers lefties are gonna feast in this series.
I mean, just just for a second, you look at
what the Blue Jays have. They're starting pitching. The Dodgers
(03:18):
lefties are going to feast. Otani, Freeman, Muncie, these are
guys that are gonna hit the cover off the ball.
And that's the one thing we talked about the Dodgers
going into the World Series. Yeah, are they gonna get
a bounce starting pitching wise, yes, absolutely hundred percent. They're
not gonna pitch like they did in the NLCS. It
would be impossible to. But if they're gonna start hitting,
(03:39):
that's gonna even that out. And we saw the end
Otani hitting again the night he had last Friday Night,
greatest night in playoff history in Major League Baseball, one
hundred and fifty years of baseball.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
That's what we saw.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But if the Dodge I got as funny a sneaking suspicion,
you're gonna see the Dodgers start raking from the beginning
of this series. And it's gonna be all the lefties
that are gonna be able to put up all kinds
of like I said, Otani, Freeman and Muncie, those guys, Yeah,
they are gonna really really rake.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I mean, we've got plenty of time to delve into
the full splits and everything else.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
But certainly when we look.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
At the ability of the Dodgers' offense to get after it.
The Blue Jays gave up two hundred nine home runs
in the regular season. That was sixth in Major League Baseball. Rockies, Angels,
the usual suspects is the top the list, but of
all the competitive teams, they were surrendering at a pretty
(04:31):
high rate. So obviously, navigating the Al East, you'll have
some some tortuous nights, but opportunity knocks because we certainly
saw that the Dodgers had to face the gauntlet of
left handers earlier in prior series. So maybe this evens
things out. But certainly all eyes on on Friday Night,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
You said eyes on Friday Night shirts with the two Yeah,
my first rodeo. He's like the terminator, you know, waiting
for it to like all of a sudden, He's gonna,
like all of a sudden in your head just explodes. Wow,
sures have just did that.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
I sends you pluck the eyeball out like the terminator everything. Yeah,
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Uh see, we'll lot more baseball coming up in Phelis,
because yeah, the Blue Jays going to the World Series.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Is really about one other team that didn't make it
to the World Series. Fuck but yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Friends of mine, though, are having flashbacks to ninety three though.
As soon as they started showing the Joe Carter home run.
I had a buddy that I went to college with.
He was from Philadelphia. He went running out towards Lake Michigan.
Took us hours to find him. We literally we thought, wow,
he was a guy that lived and died with every
at bat, every pitch of the Phillies. Oh went screaming
(05:42):
into the night. Oh that I found him sitting on
the side of the road, unharmed. He was fine, but
there was that moment. So, you know, fandom at it
at its peak and to this day, Joe Carter, you
mentioned him in any group chat, yeah, it goes bad.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah yeah. And you know, the funny thing is just
real quick about Joe Carter. You think about Joe Carter
and in the lifetime of biggest playoff moments, home runs,
everything else. You know, you get on the list, and
Joe Carter's should be at the top. He had a
walk off home run that won the World Series. I mean,
(06:18):
it doesn't get bigger than that. But yet the Buckner
play is bigger. Gibson's home run is bigger, right, Bobby
Till we talked about the biggest plays in baseball, it's
like it's a play you get to go, oh yeah,
Joe Carter, you know, yeah, I mean really, it's it's
crazy that that that that's that's the impact that Carter
hit that. And the Blue Jays were a great team
winning in ninety two and ninety three, terrific team. David
(06:39):
Cohne like that was a Roberto Alomar. That was an
all star lineup they had. And to think that, yeah, okay,
the Joe Carter home run should be at the top. Hey,
biggest home run, Oh, Joe Carter walk off won the
World Series.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Nope, But I still go back to I mean, look,
growing up in Chicago, and as much as I hated
the Cubs, I watched them every day because I can
come home from school, can't commander a television and and
and watch things go to go to fruition eighty four
when he gets traded to Cleveland, right, it's him, it's
Mel Hall. They the Cubs get back Rick Sutcliffe and
he goes on that ridiculous run that second half of
(07:11):
the season. What was he sixteen and one en route
to the cy Young and for the Cubs to be
playing postseason baseball was such a rarity at the time.
But that trade was the thing that jump started, and
we watched Joe Carter's career. Is like, man, that guy
could have been could have been a life from the Hubs.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, one of those things.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
And he goes on to this great moment. Now, obviously
again what Sutcliffe did that year in eighty four. I
hated that trade because that's when the Mets were starting
to get good. I'm like, he's gotta lose a game
at some point.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Come on, the guys, seventeen to one, Come on, man,
what's going on.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I just always loved emulating that motion, right, that extra
half second that you held the ball in your wind
up before coming forward.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Just big stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Oh boy, all right, so we gotta tell you this
before we get to We got a big NFL take
for you here. Yeah, this game has gotten closer because
Sam Darnold just got sacked in the end zone. Looked
like he had a chance to throw the football away,
held onto it, fumbled, recovered for a touchdown by the Texans.
(08:15):
It is now a seventeen to twelve lead, extra point
petting him. Maybe they wind up going for two. But Donald,
you know, in his own end zone, could have stepped
up and stayed out of the sack, but instead went
deeper into the end zone where he gets grabbed up
and just can't hold on it. It's like I still
want to get rid of the football. And that's what
(08:37):
killed this play for Donald is that. Okay, he made
a bad play and made it worse. Right now, he
should have stepped up to stay out of the end zone,
right you know, that's the thing that not enough quarterbacks do,
is stepping up out of the end zone to stay
out of a play like that. But he made a
bad play worse by trying to get the ball into
his left hand where I can maybe throw it away
and not get a safety. Dude at that point, don't
(08:58):
make a bad decision worse, Hold onto the ball, Hold
onto the ball, but he fumbles. They recover for a touchdown,
they go for two and don't get it, So it's
a seventeen to twelve lead right now for the Seahawks.
Runs right into Will Anderson, who despite being held, gets
the arm on him to jar the ball loose and
eventually he's the one that falls on top of it
(09:20):
for the touchdown. The two point conversion fails seventeen to twelve,
middle of the third. Now, to think about this for
a second on display tonight, it's really weird to think
this because he's a guy that's kind of flown under
the radar a little bit, but he became an incredibly
good receiver last year. If you said to me right now,
(09:41):
who's the best receiver in the NFL, I would say, well,
it's hard to ignore what Puka Nakua can do right
hard to ignore that because just the sheer volume that
he has for the rams. But I don't know that
Jackson Smith and Jigba is not the best receiver in
the NF He has found a way on a team
(10:02):
that doesn't really have anybody else throw the football too.
He's double covered in almost every single pass pattern, and
he finds a way to get create space between the
corner back on him and the safety over the top
and be open for five yards where Darnold can find him,
like the Jackson Smith the Jigba the play, it's like
the Gronk play where Gronkowski would just come off the
(10:22):
line of scrimmage, run across the field, nobody's got him.
He would catch the ball from Brady and then rumble
for the fifteen yards like how does that happen?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But that's that's Smith and Jigba is that he'll come
off the line and he'll find a way to run up,
look some kind of out towards the sideline and catch
the ball three feet from the sideline with a defensive
back in front of him and a safety in the
back of him.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
The way he's able to create space to catch the
ball is incredibly impressive. He's not a guy that's gonna
win a lot of one on one battle. He doesn't
have the size for that. He's not the fastest guy
but to be. But he's almost like reminds me a
little bit of Justin Jefferson, where Wow, he always seems
to be open. No matter what you throw at him,
he's open. And there's the physical beast the Brandon Marshalls
(11:07):
that we're able to I'm gonna shield you from the football,
go up and get it, and so I'm always open.
But the fact that that's like every play for Smith
and Jigba and I go. I don't know how he
does it, but he does it every single play. Coming
into the game. He led the NFL in yards receiving. Oh,
by the way, put another eighty on the board so
far fro him. Tonight he six for eighty in a touchdown.
(11:27):
So he's gonna improve this lead. I mean, he is
having an for all as great as Jamar Chase is
having and pukin Akua is having. He's leading the league
in yards per reception. Right, these guys all have ten
more catches than he does. But the yard by every
pass he catch, I feel like is a twenty five
yard catch. He's doing that so consistently without the presence
(11:49):
of another guy to take pressure on. Last year, it's like, okay, well, yeah,
Metcalf there, and Metcalf was still really good. Clearly they
let Metcalf go because we don't need him. We can
still put this offense forward making him are one, and
he is just having that kind of year. Man like
it's so impressive to see him to just to find
a way almost you know what, almost a little bit
like if I think about it, almost like Marvin Harrison,
(12:12):
because that's Marvin Harrison. How does he find a way
on every play to be to have a safety over
the top and a cornerback on him and he's still
opened by three yards?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That's kind of what Marvin Harrison was able to do
for the Colts, and that's kind of what Smith the
Jigma does for the Seahawks.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah, what's interesting is the way he's used. You point
out Metcalf. You also had Tyler Lockett there last year
who caught forty nine balls for six hundred yards as well.
By the way, he's free. Does he go back to
Seattle now? Did they bring it back? Yeah, he's a
free man. As for his release from Tennessee, looks like
he's gonna be out in the open market.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
Maybe a guy you can help.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
So just talking about Smith and Jigma just made another
big catch here as you and I are speaking, over
the top, beautifully placed ball by Darnold. And that's the thing.
They were able to use him as a slot receiver
last year. This year he's lining up outside more of
the facts that you can mix and match and move
him around and create some defensive mismatches along the way
(13:10):
to make things a little easier for Sam Darnold in
that regard. Uh certainly huge as well. But yeah, I
mean the metal stand is him. It's aman ra uh
and then and then we start fighting with with Puka
and Nikua and and and a few others in terms
of their use when he's the true number one. It's
awful hard to discount DeVante Adams though, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah, Adam that Yeah, Adams is Adams finally caught. He
caught a couple of touchdowns yesterday. Yeah, but watch Smith
the jig. But he is absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 6 (13:38):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
It is really hard to discount him. Again, He's not
physically big, he's not fast, but he just he finds
a way, man, he just finds a way to be open.
I mean, very Marvin Harrison esque, Like that's kind of
where I look at and go, Yeah, that's watching Marvin going,
how is Marvin Harrison that wide open?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
He does? Of course they're gonna throw to him. How
does how can you not cover him?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I really thought that white, How is Marvis Marvin Harrison,
I thought you were gonna say, learning from his.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Own man, exit out Valta Fresca Exit, swalling down the

Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon Hobo live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Twenty to twelve.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Seahawks of the lead over the Texas right now, they
have the football. Three minutes ago in the third quarter
we talked about Jackson Smith and Jigba a few minutes ago.
Now over one hundred yards on the night, Sam Donald
just trying to throw to him and he was again
opened by five yards and Sam Donald just deciding, I'm
gonna throw it out of bound.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
He should have run harder. Yeah, yeah, sideline throw. He
didn't get there. Man, so alive more in the game
coming up again.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You know, really, maybe America is rooting for the the
Seahawks in this game, considering the Mariners gacked away a
two games to none lead. CS No, I think you
feel bad look, because now Seattle is like, boy, if
they gave the ball to marsh And on the goal
line and they didn't blow a two nothing lead going
home in the ALCS. Boy, that's something we're gonna think
about every day.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Was it an anti Canada thing? I mean some are
suggesting that ever since the Sonics left that it did
its cast a shadow. Okay, so you can't win, you
can only get so far. It's like the deal with
the Devil.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Okay, Yeah, there it is. I'm gonna have my big
show at Carnegie Hall. No you're not.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
And then Ralph Macho is gonna come and play the
guitar and try to defeat the Devil and win the Yeah,
Seattle back and that's it against Stevie v. I Stevie
Va ain't losing. So we'll have more in this game
coming up in a few minutes. Again, big third down
for the Seahawks in twenty to twelve. They have been
dominated in this game. And then Sam Darnold sacked, fumbled
in the end zone. Seahawks fell out. The sorry Texans
(18:05):
fell in the football for a touchdown. They went for two,
did not get it. And so now the Seahawks they
get the first down. Guess who Jackson Smith and Chigbuck
catches the ball and the flat goes another ten yards
past the first down marker, first and ten for the
Seahawks looking for another score.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah, they were one of ten.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
On third down. They said, Hey, what don't we do here? Oh,
let's get the ball to that guy.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Yeah, let's throw it to him.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Uh So I got a sneaking suspicion thinking about the
world too. We'll get to We'll get to the Yankees
in a second. Last year, we had ice Cube and
Fat Joe. Yeah, okay, okay, all right, Well ice Cube
was great boy. Fat Joe the Yankee that might have
been a deal with the Dell didn't work out, like
they had. Fat Joe and Fat Joe just didn't work out.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
You just had a lot of guys you could have
chosen for that spot, a lot of guys.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
It did not work.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Are you talking about it worked out for the Dodgers, No,
but for the Yankees it didn't work.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
It worked out great for the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I want to know the workshop there though, Like as
you're sitting around right eating sandwiches and maybe some cold cuts,
uh and just kind of talking about Hey, who should
we get?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
That's that's who you came to. Yeah, yeah, I mean
there's so many other people. There's so many other people
that are associated with New York. Now, you could have
you could have gone actor, you could a gone singer.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
You got all the Broadway for crying out out.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Well, that's the Yankees man, their decision making since the
you know, the Steinbrenners took over for George Steinbrenner.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Ah, maybe we don't get the best we should.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I mean, you could have had Lynn Manuel Miranda come
out and sing a bit of anything the Yankee.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
The Yankees don't go out and get the best player
in free agency in Juan Soto. They get guys who
were almost as good. They don't go out get the
best singers that can come out. They get guys stup
almost as good. There's a Broadway star and a legend
hit he work for the Yankees. Could have had Jason
Alexander out.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
There, Costanza.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But this year, okay, we'll probably get Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
I really want Drake out there. Oh, I well, to
get Drake and Kendrick Lamar yet, think you got to
have that? I think that's yeah, I think, yeah, yeah,
you gotta have that, man, I think that.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I think that's what the world wants to see. I
want to I want to see that. I mean Rush
is getting back together. Get geddy Lee out there.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Yo, Okay, sure, why not?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
All right?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
No, that's fine. But I mean you want rivals. You
want rivals, so you want Drake and Kendler cremin. I mean,
I don't I think Rush is.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I mean they fighting with Alan Parsons project, Like, I
don't know, is there some sort of are they fighting
with Brian Adams? I don't.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I don't know that we're actually gonna get fisticuffs in
the start.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Everybody put your hands together for the prog rock battle
right now.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
It's Rush and Alan Parson's project. It's the Eye in
the Sky Modern Day one. Come on, you can get
on board that.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
No, I don't know, man, that's that's kind of a
tough one. I think. I think that's a tough one. Yeah,
I just don't. I just don't know how much you know.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Pitting they musical Luminaries to start up a game really
really plays?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
No, I think that would play though. That's a few,
but that's a they're actually gonna fight like that. They
fighting through their songs. You know that rivalry you want?
That's a built in people know that rivalry. Even my
dad knows Drake and Kendrick Lamore. My dad knows nothing
about music that's been made after nineteen eighty eight. He
thinks Aerosmith's Permanent Vacation was the most recent album anybody's
(21:25):
ever put out. Wait till I tell you about the
song with Young Blood, Dad, this is Arosmith's best song.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
It's there. Wait thirty years Wait, wait do you hear it? Dad?
My dad?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Wall, Wait, there's new music. No, I got no, I
got here, I got that. Dude looks like a lady
right here in nineteen eighty eight. Permanent Vacation. No, that's
what what I go.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Okay, but I mean he's already done that the halftime shows.
Is Kendrick Lamar coming back down for.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
The World Series? I think, yeah, I kind of have
to do. That's a big deal. It's a step lower.
Ah No, no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
As much as I love America's past, yeah, but but
the thing is LA's a baseball town. So okay, again,
we got a lot of people in La baseball time.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I I think that it's a pretty good choice for
number one. Thanks, pretty good. And again you have the
built in rivalry. You have the rivalry. Man, Dude, you're
not gonna Drake Goes whoever gives him a jersey.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
You're not gonna get an alternative rock battle between you know,
Duly and the Afghan with somebody.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
You're not getting that, man, I'm sorry. You're not setting that.
He does tickets and he does own the short.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
You're not getting red Hot Chili Peppers against you know,
you're not against the Lawna Miles. You're not getting that. Okay,
you're not getting that. What other Canadian artists there, You're
not gonna You're not gonna get simple plan.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Dick did to you. You're not getting it, Okayack, just
be just be it.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
No no, no nickelback versus Creed, Yeah, come on, not
happening unless Creed is actually Creed from the office.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
That's a nickelback Creed I could get into well, I
mean he could play some some songs from his time
in the sixth Just be happy with Drake and Kendrick
lamar Man. Just be happy with you.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Now, the Blue Jays in the World series. This is
an absolute gut punch for the Yankees, especially coming off
of last week. Right now, the Yankees could not get
past them. They gave the division away to the Blue Jays.
They were up big, then they lost like fifteen games
in the standings before. They made a nice run late,
but they couldn't overcome Toronto. Toronto wins the division again
(23:22):
as close as it could possibly be, but Toronto's your
division winner. Toronto beats the Yankees. Toronto goes to the
World Series. This is a gut punch for the Yankees.
But what makes it worse is that the Yankees and
the Yankee Nation Yankee fans had to sit back last
week and watch Brian Casher and Aaron Boone have an
end of season press conference that basically said, yeah, we're
(23:43):
just gonna run it back with the guys next year
and hope for something different like.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
That has said. That makes me.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
You go into the offseason going why am I even
gonna buy tickets? Why am I gonna watch the games?
If you're telling me that this year they were not
good enough. Sorry but they weren't good enough. But you think, oh,
magically the calendar changing to twenty twenty six is gonna
make it better for it.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
The Blue Jays are younger, they're better, they're more toime.
They beat they defeated you in every way. This year,
they came back, they won the division, they knocked you
out of the playoffs. They're going to the World Series.
You have to watch that, right. That's why when the
Phillies got elimited, I said, oh this is great. I
can wear my Metskier again because the Phillies and the
Yankees got knocked out of the playoffs. When a team
from your division gets knocked out, okay, you think maybe
(24:24):
we're okay, feel like that goes to the World Series.
It's man, we got a lot of work to do.
But it's doubly worse when you're told by your administration that, yeah,
everything is gonna be the same next year. You know,
Aaron Boone is coming back. They would have fired him
if they would. You know, Aaron bone is coming back. Oh,
Garrett Cole coming back. That's gonna make things better. Oh
so you know how it's gonna go next year. Yes,
Garrett Cole coming back is a boost that can't hurt.
(24:46):
But no, but you can't just sit here and say, oh, well,
things are gonna work out great. On't me to change anything, No,
clearly you do. You weren't close. It's a it's a
you know, as Aaron Judge could hit seventy home runs again,
Like you think Aaron Judge is gonna be great, but
you clearly know you need you seem you need more
in the lineup around him. You need you know, you
gotta get out of contracts and get to other guys.
Your bullpen wasn't what you thought it was gonna be.
(25:07):
That's got to get fixed. But the Yankees and yeah, yeah, yeah,
we're fine. The Yankees have been that team that's just
driven to the middle of the road for the last
year is like, yeah, we're not gonna go too far
out of pocket one way or another. The most the
worst they got was last year when they were spurned
by Jan Soto.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
We're gonna go sign three other guys instead, okay.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And now, yeah, you know Bellinger was okay, Devin Williams
was not okay.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Are you better off? No, you're not better off.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Wan Soto at a top five MVP type season in
the National Goal he's not gonna win it, but he's
gonna finish the top five still want to have it
a really good year. This is such a gut punch
for the Yankees because when you have to say, yeah,
they're better and I don't see the path to getting
better than them for next year. That's hard, man, But
that's the Yankees, and I think the rest of Major
League Baseball saying yeah, we like the sleepy Yankees, right.
(25:52):
Forget about the lazy Yankees on the field. We like
the sleepy Yankees who were no longer doing whatever we
can to make sure we win the World Series, where
all this fiscal responsibility and we're afraid to trade any
of our prospects, where the Yankees would trade their prospects
all the time in the past because their prospects were
valued more than everybody else's. Because it was the Yankees
farm system. They stopped doing it. Brian Cash was afraid
(26:14):
the first guy he trades out of New York that
it's three to fifty wins a batting title. They're gonna
be at his home with torches like Frankenstein, going get
him out, get him out. He used to make trades
like that. They don't do it. The Yankees are now
a safer team. We're gonna drive to the middle. We'll
spend money when we can, but overall, yeah, let's stay
the course. Stay the courses. Not getting it done, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I mean only the guys on sports talk radio in
New York get that excitable anymore. They have come to
expect it from Cashman and Boone at this point. What'll
be curious is, I mean, they've got a lot of
free agents, They've got a lot of potential defections this offseason,
so maybe it's a little bit of a ropodope. I mean,
that's what you're gonna say in in the You're bringing
(26:52):
Aaron Boone back.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
You've already decided that.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
And then we can always argue about how much the
manager does versus front office being count analytics guys, et cetera. Right,
we can have that fight with every team. Uh, and
everybody's always gonna push back because they want to make
sure they get their appropriate percentage of the credit. But
what what we'll be curious is you've got guys like
Schwarverer that may may be available that maybe he doesn't
(27:15):
go back to Philly. You've got Kyle Tucker who's in
the in the wind and probably leaving Chicago. So you've
got some big, big bats that may be available that
suddenly show up. What is always curious, though, is when
you're you're heavy, uh, in terms of your your dollars
are spent right, guys like Stanton, how many games are
(27:36):
you banking on him being available for right?
Speaker 4 (27:39):
For Aaron Judge, that's that frame, that body. How many
games does Volpie get better? Because he certainly wore it
like a guy.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Is is Dominga is gonna be a guy that suddenly
becomes right when he was coming up? It's it's the Martian,
He's different. He's gonna be that guy. Is he that guy?
Or is he a middling power guy that never gets
over right? And that's the curse of being a Yankees
prospect as well. Go back to the days of Kevin Moss.
All right, he was going to be that guy. Sure
(28:08):
you had Jeffries, They had Kevin Moss.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Oh sorry, I had to do it.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Jeffries did have a good career career, absolutely, there's no
question about it. But Kevin Moss, who as soon as
he saw how Don Mattigley's back was disintegrating, suddenly, tada,
what happened? He changed his batting stance and was no
longer the power broker that he once was. But all
of those prospects thereafter that were supposed to break through
and didn't. Some of them became decent Major leaguers, but
(28:34):
never became those prime A List number one guys. So
you know you do have our new pitching prospect. I'll
let you say his surnames so I don't screw it
up and get us fined.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Exit up, out of Fresca, exit swollen down The Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Cam Schlitler. Time not
to find out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
A guy who will feast on Friday like the Dodgers
lefties on the Blue Jays pitching.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
It's Steve to say the way you.
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Talk about you just mentioned the name I was going
to bring up. The Yankees are not going to the
World Series. Don Mattinglee is yes, right, yeah. He is
bench coach for the Toronto Blue Jays. He was Dodgers
manager before Dave Roberts. Don Mattingley, in his long and
great career as player and assistant coach, has never been
to the World Series and now is going as Toronto
(29:25):
at Home takes Game seven of the Alcs beating Seattle
four to three George Springer three run homer in the seventh.
Seattle is still the only ball club to never go
to a World Series. In fact, these two franchises, Toronto
and Seattle, started as expansion teams playing in nineteen seventy seven,
so we've had about fifty years of World Series since then.
(29:47):
Seattle hasn't played any of them, which is the worst
start to any franchise in the history of the four
major sports. For a team to remain in the same
city and not reached the championship round of your sport
in the first forty eight years of existence has never
happened before.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
What is the Mets for one thousand seams.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
The Mets did make it in by the way, among
the many stats here that here we had a team
in Toronto who lose the first two games at home
and still win a best of seven, like the Mets
did back in the mid eighties. It has happened precious
few times since then, but these Blue Jays had the
most comeback wins this year, and in fact, even when
trailing by two or more in the late innings, they
(30:29):
still had nine victories. Best in the majors this season. Springer,
with the three run long ball in the seventh takes
it the loss to reliever Edward Bizardo, who allowed the
home run to the first batter he faced. Cal Rawley
did have a solo homer. Seattle's Julia Rodriguez hit went
out as well. By the way, for the reigning home
run champ. To homer in a Game seven that year
(30:52):
hadn't happened since Reggie Jackson in the nineteen seventy three
World Series. Wow cal Rawley hit went out tonight, it
looked likely with the three to one lead, that might
be sending them to the Fall Classic.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Not so.
Speaker 7 (31:05):
Jeff Hoffman faces three batters strikes at all three in
the final inning of a close Game seven that's not
happened before. Toronto will host Game one of the World
Series against the Dodgers Friday night on Fox TV. Saturday
night is Game two. All the World Series games will
start at about eight pm Eastern Time. Two NFL games
(31:27):
tonight Right now in Seattle, the Seahawks are leading early
fourth quarter twenty seven to twelve against the Houston Texans,
who have targeted receiver Nicocollins nine times, but he only
has four catches for twenty seven yards. It was just
a seventeen to twelve advantage after Will Anderson's fumble recovery
on his sack of Sam Darnold, but they've tacked on
(31:48):
points the home team has, so Seahawks twenty seven to
twelve is the score right now. Earlier, Detroit beat Tampa
Bay twenty four to nine, each team five and two.
Jamiir Gibbs seventeen carries, one hundred thirty six yards and
two scores, plus he had three catches eighty two yards
Jared goff in the win, one touchdown, one interception, one fumble.
Wide receiver Mike Evans of Tampa Bay returned after the
(32:11):
hamstring injury, but left before halftime with a concussion and
broken collarbone after a hard landing on a deep pass.
The Mecha Abuka Young wide receiving star did play after
a hamstring injury. He was targeted twelve times, only four catches.
Washington says quarterback Jayden daniels hamstring injury is not significant,
but they don't know if he'll play next Monday at
(32:33):
Kansas City. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is out this week
with a high ankle Sprain forty nine. Ers QB Brock
Purty is likely out again this week with a toe injury.
Falcons quarterback Michael Pennix is called day to day with
a bone bruise in his foot and ankle. Raiders tight
end Brock Bowers, with the knee injury, is due to
return after thereby this week. In the NHL, Winnipeg a
(32:53):
two to one winner at Calgary, which is one in
six on the early season, Carolina five and zero but
losing with about a minute ago at Vegas tonight for
to one for the Golden Knights, and the NBA season
starts with two games on Tuesday. Today was the deadline
for extensions for the draftees from twenty twenty two, so
getting four year extension. A four year extension was Dyson
(33:15):
Daniels of Atlanta, a five year extension for Christian Brown
of the Nuggets.

the game all set for us playing as myself. Mike Carmen,
Alex Tice Shirt, Steve de Sager, Frostburg. Go ahead, you
said World Series, something you would know nothing about. We

It's like eight magic eight. Paul, shake it now, ask

game so far, aren't you having Okay? Hey, Steve, you
really thought there was a game. This is where we
(36:00):
rag on the Mets.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
All that the Mets suck, still with.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
The Seinfeld, still with the Seinfeld.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Who gave up the home run that Joe Carter in
Game seven of the nineteen ninety three World Series. I
think Alex Tice Shirt should answer this one first. Who
gave the home run to Joe Carter? Who I'll give
you a hint, I'll give you a hit. His nickname
(36:33):
was wild Thing. Okay, he wore number ninety nine. Okay,
who is it? Oh?
Speaker 4 (36:38):
Mitch Williams, Wow, yea anybody actually whispered that? Wow? I
should make game over. He went to the internet like
his hair was on sire. Wow, you guys aren't coming
back from that.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
No, there's no Internet here wild than By, but stay
that's right, you were here speaking of the internet. It
wasn't event to in nineteen ninety three. Well, that's right,
al Gore did advent it.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Have a hot take for you. I bet it. Tani
speaks perfect English. It just doesn't like to talk to us.
That's not a hot take, I think.
Speaker 7 (37:10):
So I would dispute the word perfect because it was
the same with Fernando.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
It is really to be fair, how many people that
English is their first language speak quote unquote perfect.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
I work with people who speak English and it's not perfect.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
Let's doing the game. Are you guys just I'm ready
for the next game. I'm ready. Next question, I'm likeady.

was ninety six. I want six. Did you really say scream? No?

say I should guess. I'm gonna say candy Man. No,
I thought I had it.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
Steve, any Halloween that was? That was any Halloween? That's
what it was called. Any Halloween seven? Any Halloween? What
year was? It said? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
any Halloween ninety three. Yeah, you're gonna really kick yourself
from this.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
